Base Pyramid Aufkirchen

The base pyramid is an important part of the base line Unterföhring – Aufkirchen which represents the measured starting line for the subsequent Bavarian triangulation. This lasted from 1801 to 1828.The spire of the north tower of the Munich Frauenkirche (the zero point of the Bavarian land survey), the two pyramids (the ends of the baseline) and the spire of the parish church of St. Johann Baptist in Aufkirchen lie on the same straight line.

The base pyramid Aufkirchen is the end of the old Bavarian baseline, which was measured in 1801. This baseline was the basis for the Bavarian land surveying using triangulation, which lasted until 1828. The beginning (further basic pyramid) of the baseline is in Unterföhring. The base pyramid lies on a field in the direction of Aufkirchen. (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basislinie_Unterf%C3%B6hring%E2%80%93Aufkirchen)

It is more of a highlight for a gravel bike or MTB tour
